Money will talk for you
|
Coats your tongue like sugar
|
Sweet lies
|
To pacify the hunger
|
Money will kill for you
|
Lay your head to rest now
|
Dream of the whitest street
|
Clean, rebuilt for you
|
|
We're headed for big trouble
|
Brewing in the rubble
|
|
I won't bow to evil
|
I won't stoop to your injustice
|
You robbed the greatest people of the earth they rose their children on
|
And I am grateful I am in this country now
|
But I will never forget the land and the sea and the sky
|
I come from
|
|
You never fenced me in
|
My spirit gives you chills and
|
Sweeping your desert like the wind
|
Nations gather for a reckoning
|
You may be deaf but every rock and tree is listening
|
|
I won't bow to evil
|
I won't stoop to your injustice
|
You robbed the greatest people of the earth they rose their children on
|
And I am grateful to be in this country now
|
But I will never for get the land and the sea and the sky
|
I come from
|
|
Come on and give us a truthful tongue
|
We've got to make a peaceful mission from now on
|
I am thankful for the choices I have now
|
But we've got to protect the land and the sea and the sky
|
We come from.
